Looks like the trend of big box office clashes is going to continue next year too. Recently Akshay Kumar had announced his next film 'Crack' with Neeraj Pandey which is slated for an Independence Day 2017 release.

Now buzz is that someone else too is eyeing the same date. Well, it's none other than Shah Rukh Khan. If reports are to be believed then SRK and Imtiaz Ali are eyeing the extended weekend for their next film, tentatively titled 'The Ring'.

We hear that Shah Rukh Khan will soon begin working on Imtiaz Ali's film which is touted to be an unconventional love story and will be shot in Europe. On the other hand Akshay's 'Crack' is a psychological thriller.

Meanwhile SRK's 'Raees' is already in for a box office clash with Hrithik Roshan's 'Kaabil' on 26th January 2017.
